The goal was only ever to be an awesome hackerspace. You can describe it as anarchistic if you feel it fits (anyone can describe it however they like) but do not think that means everyone, or the organization in general, will agree with the label. And NEVER believe Noisebridge will conform to your idea of what an anarchist organization should be or do just because you label it so.<br>

People like to throw around the word "anarchism" in Noisebridge either because they are self-described anarchists or they are saying it kind of jokingly because of how non-organized we are & that is what they think anarchy is [chaos], whether that's correct or not.<br>
